Professor Donghui Zhang received his Ph.D. in 2002 from the University of California -- Riverside. Since then, he has been working as an Assistant Professor in the College of Computer & Information Science, Northeastern University. Professor Zhang's primary research area is databases. In particular, indexing and query optimization in spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal databases. Many real application data have spatial and/or temporal dimensions. For instance, the locations of apartment buildings, cars, mobile-phone users which may or may not change over time. The concern is how to index such objects and how to efficiently compute the result of interesting queries. Professor Zhang received the NSF CAREER Award: Fast Query Support for Emerging Spatial Database Applications. He has written five book chapters and published about thirty peer-refereed research papers. He has served on the panels of two NSF programs. He was a co-PC Chair of SSTD'07. He was on the Program Committees of various international conferences including VLDB (2009, 2008, 2005), ICDE (2009, 2008, 2007, 2004).
